Shunyi District, Beijing, China

For the past 2 years or so, Nola and Ivy have asked to dye their hair.  We tried a temporary rinse once and although it was fun, it didn’t really show up in their dark strands.  Our new school is filled with students and staff with hair of different colors, so the girls’ desire to dye their hair became pretty intense.  It was a very long process as they first had to bleach their hair and then add the color.  After 4 hours one Sunday afternoon in the salon, the girls had some amazing looking hair!  This was a fun way to celebrate our life in China.
